Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).
  • We plan to add text alternatives for all images by March 2023. When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.
  • Some header text does not have an appropriate contrast ratio. We plan to fix any problematic contrast ratio text by March 2023. When we publish new content we’ll make sure our text meets accessibility standards.

Some videos do not currently have closed captions. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.2.2 (Captions - Pre-recorded). 
  • We plan to add captions to all pre-recorded content by March 2023. When we publish new video content, we'll make sure our videos meet accessibility standards. 

Navigation and accessing information

Course pages can not easily be accessed or navigated using just the keyboard. 

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

PDFs and other documents

Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs and Word Documents with information for classes and worksheets.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
